Do you like Sakura?

For two weeks in Spring, Japan is covered in a beautiful blanket of pink cherry blossom. At the same time, teams of tourists with cameras at the ready gather trying to take the perfect shot before the cherry blossom petals fall reminding us of the fleeting beauty of life.

If you want to enjoy this season in a different way then I recommend a river cruise of the Sakura corridor in Tokyo. Surround yourself with cherry blossoms and be transported to a fantasy world. This cruise can be taken at day and at night with the latter being beautiful illuminated by lights and lanterns. Keep your camera handy to capture lifelong memories.

Book a cruise using the link below

The Jewelry Ice of Toyokoro-cho

At Toyokoro-cho of Hokkaido's Tokachi, Nakawa-gun, there is a mysterious and naturally occurring phenomenon only seen during winter.
Its name, like droplets of diamonds, is appropriately "Jewelry Ice".
The "Jewelry Ice" is made out of frozen and broken ice that flowed into the River, and then washed up on shore .
As it was juggled around by the waves, its edges were shorn off and it almost takes the shape of a circular riverbed stone.
Though up until now this was it was only known by a handful of people such as between photography enthusiasts,
in 2015 it was introduced to the world under the name "Jewelry Ice" and now, starting with photographers both in and out of Hokkaido,
it has become a spot that charms many people.

It has even gained world wide acclaim, with it being introduced in the New York Times online edition in an article titled "Ice That Sparkles Like Diamonds Washes Onto Japanese Shores" at the end of January 2017.
